Multiple myeloma also known as plasma cell myeloma is a cancer that forms in a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell. The plasma cells stream out regular blood cells in your bones, they also send out chemicals that trigger other cells to eat away at your bones. The weak areas that this creates in the bones are called lytic lesions. The overgrowth of plasma cells in the bone marrow can crowd out normal blood-forming cells, leading to low blood counts.Multiple myeloma can also cause the level of platelets in the blood to become low called thrombocytopenia. This can lead to increased bleeding and bruising. Myeloma cells make an antibody that can harm the kidneys, leading to kidney damage and even kidney failure.There are, however, other plasma cell disorders that also have abnormal plasma cells do not meet the criteria to be called active multiple myeloma.
